Chapter 180: 180: Bai Youwei’s Game

Translator: 549690339

Everyone was astonished.

After cohabiting for some time, they all had some knowledge about Bai Youwei.

While she wasn’t particularly nasty, she wasn’t specifically kind hearted either. Yet now, she wanted to take in a ten-year old child?

…Could there be some hidden agenda?

“What’s the matter?” Bai Youwei frowned slightly, “The way you’re looking at me now, is making me very un-com-fort-able.

“Ahem…” Tan Xiao and Teacher Chang diverted their eyes.

Shen MO was more direct and asked her, “The reason?”

Bai Youwei threw up her hands: “Because I think the kid has potential. His observational skills are solid; he guessed our destination to be the maze; he is courageous enough to negotiate a deal with adults at such a young age, and he’s clear-headed enough to realize that his elder brother was just using him as a scapegoat. Of course, he does have some drawbacks, but after all, he’s only ten—I can’t expect too much, can I?”

“Just because of these reasons?” Shen MO looked at Bai Youwei, his eyes expressing doubt.

The child’s strengths were apparent, but the drawbacks were even more conspicuous.

He was just a child, his capabilities in every aspect were weaker than adults, and he would undeniably be a burden in the game. Like in the first round “Flower Picking” of “Friends Gathering,” if anyone would snatch his flower, the child would have no power to resist at all.

In short, once they took him in, all of them would have to put in a herculean effort just to keep him safe.

“Actually… ever since we came out of the game last time, I’ve felt that we are lacking something,” Bai Youwei said.

Shen MO asked, “Lacking what?”

“It’s hard to put into words, but you could say… a simpler, more instinctive way of thinking?” Bai Youwei put down her chopsticks, fell silent for a moment before continuing, “I think, the doll game isn’t difficult. The difficulty lies in finding a solution. Due to factors like life experiences and upbringing, many of our thinking patterns are relatively set, including mine.”

She looked at Tan Xiao and Chang Weicai, “You probably don’t know, when we were playing Truth or Dare, I initially thought of a question for the card, but then I remembered the Inspector mocking humans as being combinations of water, protein, and organic substances, so I changed the question on the fly. But afterwards, I realized there was an easier way to pass the game, which I hadn’t even thought of at the time.”

Tan Xiao and Chang Weicai looked at each other, then asked Bai Youwei, “What method?”

Bai Youwei pursed her lips slightly.

“The Inspector can’t kill himself, so I told everyone to write ‘kill the Inspector of this round’ on the card. But in reality, there are numerous things the Inspector can’t do. He can’t bleed human blood; similarly, I guess he can’t produce ear wax or nose excrement, he can’t rub his scalp to produce dandruff, and he can’t spit out saliva. Don’t these methods sound disgusting? Very crude? But they might be effective, right?”

Shen MO slightly frowned, “You mean that child could make up for our cognitive shortfalls?”

“I can’t be sure…” Bai Youwei pondered for a moment before saying, “Let’s play a game now, treat me as the Inspector, and try to pass the game. How about that?”

The three men quietly stared at her while holding their bowls.

“Pose your question.” Shen MO said.

Let’s treat it as a dinner party game.

Bai Youwei’s mouth curled up into a smile: “Hello everyone, I’m the Inspector for this round of the game, welcome to the Doll Game.”

Shen Mo: ‘ Tan Xiao:

Teacher Chang:

Bai Youwei smiled as she stretched out her hands, palms up:

“The theme of this round is ‘Weiwei’s Candy’. Assume I have a piece of red candy and a piece of green candy in my hand.. The red one is watermelon-flavored; what flavor is the green one?”
